Neil Lennon

Not good mate... very good!

 

Done listening to his *, drunk or clueless, maybe both!

 

aye ''good'' was the last word i got to mate but i know what you mean. I don't have a * clue what he was watching though!!!

 

Losing Duff was a huge worry for me... especially the way the players raved about him.

Apparently he was brilliant at spending 1-1 time with wingers and helping them improve their game. It’s no surprise that he’s gone and our creative spark is lacking

 

If he's doing that behind the scenes but not changing the personnel or tactics to have us playing more effectively then he's part of the problem.

I phoned my Granda after the game who has been watching Celtic since during World War 2 when it was regional Leagues and all he said was "I'm not getting any joy out of watching us right now"

I think that's as scathing an assessment as any.

 

Who's looking forward to Hibs on Sunday never mind them in a few weeks?

 

You could make a case we put in a better performance vs Ferencvaros yet he came out tonight and said we played well

 

Whats WGS & Ronny upto ... Any chance they might bump into Pete in the showers anywhere ..

 

Thing is, who rinses the manager when it is him at fault?
Seemingly us fans arent allowed to.

 

Deila is living it up in the States

 

Very good? , needs lynched now for me.

 

If lenny does not change his ways its going to cost usat some point,seems the team can play as * as they like and some will not get dropped. I said half way through the game lenny would say we played well just because we had lots of the ball.Can't wait to see \0/ try and play another 90mins on sunday and taylor with his anywhere but forward passing.Eddy looks * off and no wonder,every single game its....here eddy have the ball while surrounded by 2,3 or 4 players. Our attack is so lacking on the left its pointless.

 

Annoys me, laughing the need for a late goal off, then looks like he is reading a pre-prepared script throughout, knows he is talking *. It was not a good performance, the fact "Jerry" had a good game, he needs to take a look at himself for why he wasnt started in the first place, again.

 

NEIL Lennon’s men showed great grit and determination against an ultra-defensive Riga in Latvia tonight (Thursday), when a last-gasp Moi Elyounoussi winner helped them progress to next week’s UEFA Europa League playoff qualifying round.

The Norwegian midfielder scored on the 90th minute, just eight minutes after entering play, and was assisted by Jeremie Frimpong – he himself having replaced the injured James Forrest in the first half.

In turn, the manager hailed the efforts of his substitutes in what was a well-contested but equally well-deserved win.

“I think we were very good,” Neil Lennon told Celtic TV after the game. “We had to wait a long time for the goal, sometimes that happens in football, but I thought we were excellent and I thought our mentality was good.

“I’m delighted with the performance, it’s not easy playing away from home, particularly when we’re going through what we’re going through at the moment, but it was a good performance and a great, very important win.

“It takes two teams to make a game watchable and Riga set out their intentions very early. We started to wear them down, they started to play deeper and got more tired, and I thought Frimpong was superb in the second half. He’s put two beautiful crosses in and we should have scored from both of them, really.

"And then he comes up with another really good one, Albian makes a great run across the defender, and it was a fantastic finish by Moi.”

While pleased with his team’s performance as a whole, the manager singled out Elyounoussi and Frimpong for individual acclaim.

He added: “I want to touch on Moi, he’s been out of the team for a few games because he maybe wasn’t at his best – but he’s trained brilliantly, and he’s such a great example to the rest of the squad. He comes up with a really important goal and I couldn’t be happier for him. I hope that sets his season on fire now, because he’s a great player.

“I thought Moi, Jeremie and Albian all made an impact when they came on tonight. Albian could have scored, Jeremie’s done fantastically well, and he’s starting to look a lot more like himself again. He’s got a proper pair of boots on and he looks a bit more comfortable! He was great, he gives us that verve and that impetus going forward. That’s the best he’s been, certainly this season, I thought he was great.”

Having overcome Montenegrin outfit Buducnost Podgoric in their third qualifying round tie 2-1, Celtic will travel to Bosnia and Herzegovinian next week to play FK Sarajevo in a single-leg play-off. Neil Lennon’s men overcame the same side in a Champions League qualifier last season, but the Irishman reckons there’s no such thing as a favourable tie.

He added: “We knew Riga was a difficult place to visit, whether there’s fans here or not. Copenhagen lost here last year, we were very wary beforehand, but we did well. They’re all tough games, but we can take a lot of confidence from that win tonight.”

 

I think your Granda has pretty much hit the nail on the head. I feel the same as him. We're winning games but the football is not enjoyable to watch. When that becomes the rule rather than the exception, I just want the manager to go and someone new to come in and bring some fresh impetus to things.

 

I still have faith that he can turn it round.

For all that we've started the season so flat, we're relatively unscathed in domestic football.

He doesn't have long to find the answers though. If he continues to avoid the difficult decisions that need to be taken then our performances won't improve and he will correctly come under fire.

The fact we still don't have a LB/LWB with 11 days left of the window is appalling.

 

All this blaming lack of fans for the boring performances is driving me crazy .... stop making excuses everyone is in the same situation

 

I’m not being funny but we have a better squad and better staff than the huns. But the one thing Gerrard does right is he’s found his best team and stuck with it. We need to do that. Lennon has been here long enough now and he’s still not found his system or line up.

 

The Latvians were really poor. Ten men behind the ball and deep in their half for 90 minutes. But * me, that used to be bread and butter to us. Cant recall a celtic side with as little creativity as we have seen this season. Every time i see a team sheet i want to go nuts, fukn 4 months without a hoops game nearly had me in the loony bin but ive been fukn through the motions ever since we returned from france. I stupidly believed we were going to start the season like we ended the last one. Its all on you lennon. From fukd up team sheets to shocking media statements regarding the players its not a fukn mystery as to why were struggling. We need to get it together and quickly, lennon doesn't look like budging though. His stubborness will inevitably be his downfall. Any supporter not worried needs to pay more attention, we are lacking any creativity and a back line that is dodgy as *. Come what may regarding the 10 but this has to be lennons final bow as celtic manager. a legend beyond all means but football has evolved from his generation and i dont think he has the capability to progress us . I just hope that we are still iin a semi reasonable shape when he goes.
